Guests enjoyed an evening of relaxed networking, with drinks and canapés in a stunning setting, with speeches from Richard Rosser, CEO of B4 and Matthew Johnson, General Manager of Hartwell House Hotel & Spa.
Matthew Johnson, General Manager of Hartwell House Hotel & Spa commented: “We were delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with B4 and host the first Classic Event of 2018. The attendees found the venue an inspiring place to network and we enjoyed connecting with familiar faces and new.
“May I also take this opportunity to thank you once again for the wonderful framed graphic art print of Hartwell House by Callie Bowyer, which we really appreciate.”
B4’s Richard Rosser added: “Thank you to Matthew, Christie and the team at Hartwell for such a fantastic start to over thirty B4 events in 2018. We are always provided with such a warm welcome at Hartwell and the feedback on the night and after the event has been just as glowing.
